Oh. I am new to this, please bear with me. My project is a python script the
tar file is the installation file. Inside it is the source code - which is
also the program. It contains both, one one.
Where do I put the tar file on Savannah? I would like to make it available for
people to download so they can untar and install it.

Why? It says "Connection closed" and "checkout aborted". Those don't sound
okay. I am not even sure what the above cvs command is supposed to do. I kind
of gather from the docs that it's supposed to create a folder on my local
system, but nothing happens.

Yes I did. I tried many times over several hours.
Thanks for the reply.
